I expected this to be a certain type of film. To my surprise, it actually turned out to be quite more daring than I would have expected. It takes some ambitious turns in its story and in its execution that I really appreciated its willingness to not just settle for sentimental family entertainment. I also think its case has a lot of fun with the whole thing. Jake Gyllenhaal and especially Tilda Swinton make the most of their eccentric characters and give us some really fun turns. We knew the latter had that in her, but it's great to see Gyllenhaal really letting go. Overall, this isn't an amazing film but it's definitely one that is worth watching, if for those unexpected moments that rise above.
